So you’re saying cops are terrorists? They violently silence dissent in service of suppressing political expression. Sounds like we can use “terrorism” as a stand-in “for any political group I don’t like”.

Glad we’re on the same page. Or does state violence not count for some arbitrary reason?

I don’t even look at the AI result. I scroll right past. That’s the thing, if it’s bullshit 50% of the time, and you can’t always tell like you can here, then it’s bullshit 100% of the time, and it’s useless, just taking up screen real estate.

“Y’all” has wider reach than this map suggests, particularly in black and queer communities.

English used to be like other European languages too. We had thou/thee for singular, and you/ye for plural, and for respectful singular. Eventually, people began using it as respectful singular for everyone, and so it just became singular and plural, eclipsing thou/thee. Around this time, the you/ye accusative/nominative distinction was also lost, so now we just have you.

If you’re curious, the you/ye distinction worked like this: “you” was used for the subject (the doer) of the sentence, and “ye” was used for the object (the done to). you/ye are analogous to I/me.

“You come with me.” (plural you)

“I come with ye.” (plural ye)

As a result of the loss of thou, we also lost the conjugation of verbs related to it, like “art” instead of “are”, and “-st” or “-est” for other verbs (“goest”, “thinkst”, etc). It used to be that “are” was only for plural pronouns, but now both “you” and “they” can be singular.

And if you’re curious about what happened to “-eth”, evidence suggests this was for a long time a typographic feature, and it was pronounced “-s” as it is today. It was used exactly like “-s”. “He thinketh” would have been pronounced “he thinks”.

That is a $290,000 raise to every single employee while maintaining profitability, if I’m understanding operating ratio correctly.

If you put it in the crease of a foldable, it’s stretched when stowed, and normal in use.

See, this is the problem with liberals. Kamala made absolutely no indication she would check Israel’s aggression. It’s wishful thinking based on no evidence. But she lost so she can be whatever liberals want now, she’s full of endless possibilities.

Adobe products often have no real equal. It sucks, but it’s the way it is. Gimp doesn’t come close to Photoshop, Inkscape is almost as good as Adobe Illustrator, and After Effects is the most capable video editing software I’ve ever used.

It sucks that they try and lock you into proprietary file formats, like Substance Painter.

I mean, they would need to if they got good enough. Rare or obscure road signs that are just text. But self driving cars haven’t even perfected how to take a turn correctly.

It rearranges to secant of c

Good for the world, bad for the “international community”

Like white collar crimes that police never go after

The difference in relative acceleration implied by the meme is on the order of tens of yoctometres (10⁻²³ m) per second per second.

It’s a difference so small that it would be overshadowed by the fact that you’re holding one object femtometres (10⁻¹⁵ m) higher or lower than the other in the gravitational field.

Additional sources of error to consider at this scale might be the heat radiation from the surroundings providing radiation pressure on the object, the sloshing of Earth’s core causing time-dependent variations in the gravitational field, the location-dependent variations in the Earth’s gravitational field, and the difference in centrifugal (yes, centrifugal in this reference frame) force due to latitude differences of one micrometre, and also due to natural variations in the rate of Earth’s rotation over time.

An embargo would imply its just America that can’t trade with Cuba. In reality, almost nobody can trade with Cuba, because any ship that does cannot enter American ports to trade with America.

It may not be a blockade by the dictionary definition, but it’s certainly not just an embargo.

They’d for sure say “no you’re not”

Asks the fucking developer of lemmy if they’re lost. fucking lmao

I am also aware that they are spelled the same, but I consciously use a U only for the organism.

For what it’s worth, I’m Canadian, so nobody would bat an eye here at using either the American or British spelling of things.

Nuclear is too expensive to run in the short term. Nuclear plants only start being profitable after like 10 years. But then they’re really fucking profitable. So it makes sense a company could go bankrupt when you’re 10 years in the red.

Also, on the topic of flexibility, this is only true for, like, 70s era nuclear. France has had load-following nuclear for some time now. Does it follow second-to-second variations? No, but it can load follow on the scale of the daily variations in demand.

One. I was tired of their posts never loading for whatever reason and they were a prominent poster in a community.

I’ve heard that newer generations are becoming less tech literate on average than previous generations. They don’t try to fix their device, they just expect it to work. When it doesn’t, they don’t have the troubleshooting skills to fix it. They never had the opportunity to learn them.
